Many
a fast-food employee has been reprimanded or fired over inappropriate behavior
captured on social media or security footage. (Remember the Burger
King employee who lounged on buns?) But according to Eater, the latest
incident, involving a Pizza Hut manager who peed in a company sink, has had much greater consequences than the typical fast-food employee no-no. Pizza Hut headquarters decided to shut down the tainted
Kermit, WV location all together. The decision was made after
leaked security footage of the incident went viral.

Pizza Hut broke the news with the following
statement: "First
of all, we are embarrassed by the actions of this individual. Pizza Hut has
zero tolerance for violations of our operating standards, and the local owner
of the restaurant took immediate action and terminated the employee involved.
While the isolated incident occurred during non-business hours and did not
involve any food tampering, we follow strict safety and handling procedures and
the restaurant has since been closed. We apologize to our customers of Kermit,
West Virginia and those in our system who have been let down by this
situation."
